Doc at Galm Elementary





Good ol' Doc Ed was at Galm Elementary yesterday presenting the Amazing aquifer Adventure show for one hundred and fifty fourth graders. The school is located on the far northwest side of town out by Sea World. Galm was built on property of Clarence Galm, a farmer with a good size plot of land. There's still a lot of country out that way that is relatively wild and quite beautiful. I'm glad I get to go out and about as Doc, especially to the far corners of our city. Some of that raw land did have developer signs putting it up for sale though. Oh, well.

No pictures of Doc performing today. Instead, I thought I'd share some photos of Galm Elementary. You can tell when the administration of a particular school is willing to go the extra mile to make the place really special. Murals of sea life great you upon entering the school. Nice touch! And it's not often that Doc is greeted by the principal of the school, Mr. Benjamin Muir. Finally, for a bit of history there are photos and a little biographical info of the school's namesake in the hall by the office. Check them out and as always click on any image to magnify them. I often do. My eyes ain't what they used to be.
